<!-- $$$QTextLayout-description -->
<div class="descr">
<h2 id="details">Detailed Description</h2>
<p>It offers many features expected from a modern text layout engine, including Unicode compliant rendering, line breaking and handling of cursor positioning. It can also produce and render device independent layout, something that is important for WYSIWYG applications.</p>
<p>The class has a rather low level API and unless you intend to implement your own text rendering for some specialized widget, you probably won't need to use it directly.</p>
<p>QTextLayout can be used with both plain and rich text.</p>
<p>QTextLayout can be used to create a sequence of <a href="qtextline.html">QTextLine</a> instances with given widths and can position them independently on the screen. Once the layout is done, these lines can be drawn on a paint device.</p>
<p>The text to be laid out can be provided in the constructor or set with <a href="qtextlayout.html#setText">setText</a>().</p>
<p>The layout can be seen as a sequence of <a href="qtextline.html">QTextLine</a> objects; use <a href="qtextlayout.html#createLine">createLine</a>() to create a <a href="qtextline.html">QTextLine</a> instance, and <a href="qtextlayout.html#lineAt">lineAt</a>() or <a href="qtextlayout.html#lineForTextPosition">lineForTextPosition</a>() to retrieve created lines.</p>
<p>Here is a code snippet that demonstrates the layout phase:</p>
<pre class="cpp">

  <span class="type">int</span> leading <span class="operator">=</span> fontMetrics<span class="operator">.</span>leading();
  <span class="type"><a href="../qtcore/qtglobal.html#qreal-typedef">qreal</a></span> height <span class="operator">=</span> <span class="number">0</span>;
  textLayout<span class="operator">.</span>setCacheEnabled(<span class="keyword">true</span>);
  textLayout<span class="operator">.</span>beginLayout();
  <span class="keyword">while</span> (<span class="number">1</span>) {
      <span class="type"><a href="qtextline.html">QTextLine</a></span> line <span class="operator">=</span> textLayout<span class="operator">.</span>createLine();
      <span class="keyword">if</span> (<span class="operator">!</span>line<span class="operator">.</span>isValid())
          <span class="keyword">break</span>;

      line<span class="operator">.</span>setLineWidth(lineWidth);
      height <span class="operator">+</span><span class="operator">=</span> leading;
      line<span class="operator">.</span>setPosition(<span class="type"><a href="../qtcore/qpointf.html">QPointF</a></span>(<span class="number">0</span><span class="operator">,</span> height));
      height <span class="operator">+</span><span class="operator">=</span> line<span class="operator">.</span>height();
  }
  textLayout<span class="operator">.</span>endLayout();

</pre>
<p>The text can then be rendered by calling the layout's <a href="qtextlayout.html#draw">draw</a>() function:</p>
<pre class="cpp">

  <span class="type"><a href="qpainter.html">QPainter</a></span> painter(<span class="keyword">this</span>);
  textLayout<span class="operator">.</span>draw(<span class="operator">&amp;</span>painter<span class="operator">,</span> <span class="type"><a href="../qtcore/qpoint.html">QPoint</a></span>(<span class="number">0</span><span class="operator">,</span> <span class="number">0</span>));

</pre>
<p>For a given position in the text you can find a valid cursor position with <a href="qtextlayout.html#isValidCursorPosition">isValidCursorPosition</a>(), <a href="qtextlayout.html#nextCursorPosition">nextCursorPosition</a>(), and <a href="qtextlayout.html#previousCursorPosition">previousCursorPosition</a>().</p>
<p>The QTextLayout itself can be positioned with <a href="qtextlayout.html#setPosition">setPosition</a>(); it has a <a href="qtextlayout.html#boundingRect">boundingRect</a>(), and a <a href="qtextlayout.html#minimumWidth">minimumWidth</a>() and a <a href="qtextlayout.html#maximumWidth">maximumWidth</a>().</p>

<p>Returns the glyph indexes and positions for all glyphs corresponding to the <i>length</i> characters starting at the position <i>from</i> in this <a href="qtextlayout.html">QTextLayout</a>. This is an expensive function, and should not be called in a time sensitive context.</p>
<p>If <i>from</i> is less than zero, then the glyph run will begin at the first character in the layout. If <i>length</i> is less than zero, it will span the entire string from the start position.</p>
<p>This function was introduced in Qt 4.8.</p>

<h3 class="fn" id="isValidCursorPosition"><a name="isValidCursorPosition"></a><span class="type">bool</span> QTextLayout::<span class="name">isValidCursorPosition</span>(<span class="type">int</span> <i>pos</i>) const</h3>
<p>/ Returns <code>true</code> if position <i>pos</i> is a valid cursor position.</p>
<p>In a Unicode context some positions in the text are not valid cursor positions, because the position is inside a Unicode surrogate or a grapheme cluster.</p>
<p>A grapheme cluster is a sequence of two or more Unicode characters that form one indivisible entity on the screen. For example the latin character `Ä' can be represented in Unicode by two characters, `A' (0x41), and the combining diaresis (0x308). A text cursor can only validly be positioned before or after these two characters, never between them since that wouldn't make sense. In indic languages every syllable forms a grapheme cluster.</p>
